The OEM Radio on the IS200 is NOT coded, so no worries.

No, not coded on the IS300 either. I don't think any of the Lexus Radios/players/multimedia systems are coded. It has been long known that the only people defeated by coding protection on Car Entertainment Systems are the legitimate owners because thieves have always been able to easily overcome it.

Hi, thats good to know. I've just come off 3 Series BMW's and am used to trying to find radio codes. This was a woory for me as when I purchased my is200 sport I couldn't find any reference to codes.

Cheers
